PhD student Nicole Virzi accused of murdering her friend’s baby talked about depression in women days before the attack [Video]

A video posted days before Ph.D student Nicole Virzi allegedly killed a friend’s baby shows her discussing a paper she wrote about depression in women. 

In the video shared by the Heart and Mind academic journal on June 13, Virzi is wearing a white blazer and comes off well-spoken as she delves into how somatic symptoms of depression in women can lead to risks of heart disease. 

Three days after the video was posted, the UC San Diego doctoral student of clinical psychology was watching her friends’ two babies, Leon and Ari, while on college break. 

After being entrusted with the two infants, Virzi was arrested and charged with the murder of six-and-a-half-week old Leon at his home in Pittsburgh, on what was his dad’s first Father’s Day — and his parents’ first wedding anniversary. 

Virzi, 29, was a ‘trusted friend’ of the babies’ parents Ethan Katz and Savannah Roberts.
